On February 22, 2003, we said goodbye to the original Happy Pitbull, Blauser.  Blauser was Mike’s dog when Mike and I first met in 1996.  I was really worried the first time I met him, because I was never really a dog person. I wasn’t sure he would like me.  But Blauser really liked EVERYONE (and anyone).

Blauser was really the first dog I ever had (not counting the chihuahua, Queenie, we had when I was a baby), and he was the most loyal, mellow, loving dog ever.  Here he is back in 1998 when little Fifi was a puppy.  They were really best friends.  And why not?  Blauser listened to all of my problems, he comforted me when I was sad.  He made me laugh, and he certainly left Fifi push him around, turning her into the queen of our house.

Blauser was 15 years old when we had to make the decision to let him go.  The old guy had been through a lot, and it was time. We remember him always, but on this anniversary, we share our memory the boy.  He was a good doggy.  We miss him lots.
